Music

Music is the universal language of a nation.

This is probably more true in countries that is populated by people who have different languages reflecting the different cultures of the nation.

We sing when we are happy, sad or scared.  We march, kill, love & celebrate with music.  The medium adds personality & passion to a people.  Indeed, it is the pumping heart of the hopes & dreams of every man.
